Caffin

The Clementine Caffin was discovered in 1968 in Azemmour (Morocco) by M. Caffin. It is the result of a spontaneous mutation that occurred on the Bekria cultivar, a Moroccan clementine that is characterized by its early ripening (in Arabic, bekria).

Vigorous tree with a compact crown. Lanceolate leaves of bright green color. Medium-sized fruit. Thicker bark than other clementines, and slightly rough. Flesh and peel are of intense orange color. Medium juice content but with good acid-sugar balance. Seedless. The thicker bark facilitates transportation and post-harvest treatments. On the other hand, it has low production if treatments are not applied, and the fruit does not hold well on the tree after ripening.

Fresh consumption.
